• Cannabis Licensed Producers (LPs): At present, there are 29 publicly traded Canadian cannabis producers. These groups of licensed producers have their stock open for purchase on the Canadian stock market at the prevailing price. FSD Pharma trading as HUGE on the Canadian stock market has great growth potential for any investor.

The company is looking to expand its holding on market share, towing the steps of two of the most prominent LPs on the market by investing in the largest indoor cannabis production facility in Cobourg, Ontario.

Other private licensed producers exist, but investments in these group of producers are often closed and can sometimes require more substantial capital investment than might be needed when investing in a public quoted company. 

• Cannabis Support Industry: The cannabis industry cannot stand alone. Although the industry is the catalyst for growth in this new economic sector, there are several other support businesses/industries that it must rely on to continue to survive.

The packaging industry is one of such. There is also the retail cannabis industry, and the agriculture technology industry which includes companies involved in the manufacture of essential equipment used in the growing of cannabis such as the manufacturers of Neoprene clone collars, greenhouse technology and automated sprinkler systems used in hydroponic farms to mention a few.
